Wisdom

The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others -Solomon Ibn Gabriol

Years teach us more than books.-Berthold Auerbach

The wisdom of nations lies in their proverbs, which are brief and pithy.-William Penn

The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all the other woes of mankind, is wisdom.-Thomas Huxley

A wise man learns by the mistakes of others, a fool by his own.-Latin Proverb

Silence does not always mark wisdom.-Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Not to know at large of things remote from use, obscure and subtle, but to know that which before us lies in daily life, Is the prime wisdom.-John Milton
